This is one of a pair of plastic palm trees that stand by the entrance to the car park at the former Goji Chinese restaurant - although they may date back to the days when the building was 'Crazy Daisy's' - a night club. Presumably they were intended to give a hint of the orient, or to convince clubbers they were in Ibiza. Either way they are unbelievably tacky, and look distinctly odd standing next to a derelict building - for context see Image .
